Cambridge United vs Wigan Predictions

• Cambridge failed to keep a clean sheet in each of their last five games.
• Wigan scored at least twice in six of their last seven away games.
• Both teams scored in each of the last six H2Hs.

In-form Wigan target top two spot

Any promotion hopes that Cambridge United harbour are slowly fading into obscurity after back-to-back league defeats ahead of this game leave them closer to the drop zone than to the play-off places. On the other hand, Wigan have won three of their last four games and sit outside of the automatic promotion places through their inferior goal difference alone. Consequently, I am predicting the visitors to continue their march towards a second-tier return.

While Wigan are a shade of odds on just to win at the time of writing, I am willing to take a risk in picking them to concede at least once in victory here despite the fact that six of their last seven victories within 90 minutes came without reply. Notably, I think that trend can be bucked as the Latics failed to keep a clean sheet against this opposition in all of their clashes in this century, a run which includes three wins with both teams scoring.

As for the correct score prediction, only one of Cambridge’s defeat’s this season ended 2-1, though it is the joint most common scoreline in League One games this season – 14% of all clashes involving any team ended that way.
